Here is the fingerpicking tab I came up with for the song, it seems to keep in time when
I play it along with the song. Just remember to keep the timing in mind with the notes.
Here is a video tutorial on the finger picking and strumming pattern for this tab. Check
it out here!

[Verse]
Am C
Written in these walls are the stories that I can't explain
Am C
I leave my heart open but it stays right here empty for days
Am C
She told me in the morning she don't feel the same about us in her bones
Am C
It seems to me that when I die these words will be written on my stone
[Pre-Chorus]
F G Am
And I'll be gone gone tonight
F G Am
The ground beneath my feet is open wide
F G Am
The way that I been holdin' on too tight
G
With nothing in between
[Chorus]
C
The story of my life I take her home
F Am
I drive all night to keep her warm and time
F C
Is frozen (the story of, the story of)
C
The story of my life I give her hope
F Am
I spend her love until she's broke inside
F C
The story of my life (the story of, the story of)

And I been waiting for this time to come around

But baby running after you is like chasing the clouds
